Mines tempermental too on one side.. and i assume mines a broken wire as i tried the switch and it made no difference.. you could get a multi-meter on it and see if its getting power to the switch.. or as been said pop the mirror out and see if its a wire there.

Superb Pics Iain.. and loving the ladies captured too.. wouldnt expect anyless from you my dear ;)

anyone still going the washers? i got a knock i cant fix!

Thanks for the reply, i've had the car checked and they couldnt see anything other than the top clamp nut hitting the heat shield, have pulled it away as far as i can, but it still catches, which makes me think the clamps on wrongly. i'm not 100% if its the same knock i can hear, and cant see...

thank you!

I dont suppose u have a picture of yours?

Many thanks.. think i will give that a go as you say and just get a new sleeve, i think the brackets have been put on facing the heat shield resulting in the knock.
